San Dieguito Union High School District

The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) joined Live
Well San Diego as a recognized partner on April 3, 2014 after a
vote by its Board of Trustees on February 20. SDUHSD became a Live
Well San Diego partner because of its commitment to promote
health and wellness to students by incorporating nutrition education,
physical activity, and wellness programs at its schools. Through
their Safe & Drug-Free School Plan, each SDUHSD school
participates in Red Ribbon Week and is encouraged to provide alcohol,
tobacco and drug prevention activities for their students. Tobacco
Use Prevention Education is also incorporated into the school’s
curriculum. SDUHSD promotes good nutrition and healthy eating habits
for their students by offering fresh fruits and vegetables and
unlimited fresh drinking water, and by reducing the amount of fat,
sugar and salt from the menu. In order to increase physical activity
opportunities and ensure the safety of their students, SDUHSD is
collaborating with public agencies and community groups, such as
Circulate San Diego, to provide safe walking routes to school. SDUHSD
is also collaborating with the City of Encinitas, another Live Well
San Diego partner, on a Transit Feasibility Study designed to
improve the quality and efficiency of local transit services for
students. Moving forward, SDUHSD is embarking on a comprehensive
recycling program with the goal of recycling 75% waste, and is
committed to continuing many of its successful programs to support
their students.
